Gefferson da Silva Goulart (born 9 January 1978), commonly known as Gefferson Goulart, is a Brazilian footballer.

Playing career

Born in São Gonçalo, Rio de Janeiro, Gefferson played with União São João in 1997.[1] By 2000 he settled in Trinidad and Tobago playing with W Connection. Between January and December 2004, Gefferson and his compatriot and W Connection teammate Ronaldo Viana[2] played on loan with Serbian side FK Železnik in the First League of Serbia and Montenegro.[3] The club was performing well those years, and Gefferson got the chance to play in the 2004–05 UEFA Cup narrowly losing against Steaua by a goal difference in the overall of the two leggs.[4] He also played a game in the 2004–05 Serbia and Montenegro Cup contributing for the conquest of the cup title that year.[5]

Gefferson and Ronaldo both returned from Serbia by the end of 2004 and were included in the W Connection team for their 2005 campaign.[6] Already before having their stint in Europe, Gefferson and Ronaldo were key-players in the 5 seasons they had spent with W Connection before 2004, and helped the club win two championships as well as several trophies.[6] Further more, upon its return, Gefferson won one more TT Pro League with W Connection and also the Golden Boot and Player of the Year award in 2005.^{[citation needed]}

Later, he had a spell in South Korea with Busan IPark, and in Angola with Libolo.
